How would anyone know about that?
Theory of Mind:
The assumption that others think pretty much like I do.
Snowtracks extrapolates beyond where he can show justification: that because he has purpose and he infers from observations that other people have purpose, then the universe itself must also have purpose.
Fallacy of composition: just because part of the universe (himself) has purpose, it does not follow that the universe itself has purpose.
He's honest, but unsupported (wrong.)
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
